Kodie Vs the cast of Glee

Rock God’s punish the cast of Glee by death because they have committed music’s biggest sin.

Watching the music channel the cast of Glee came on the countdown with their version of Journey’s rock classic “Don’t stop believing.”

Only six seconds into the song my mouth dropped. I was totally offended.

They have turned this great song with great guitar riff’s and piano interludes into a trashy high school pop piece.

Lord save me. I am in need of musical therapy after listening to that.

Classics should be left alone and kept away from up and coming teenage pop sensations. My bet is that millions viewers have now been brainwashed by this version.

Staying with the classics,

Kodie Vs getting sick

Now I don’t want to be guilty of exaggeration but I think I am dying.

This morning I woke up with the sorest of throats and not the kind of sore after you wake up from a night of snoring.

It’s like a chainsaw is tugging at my vocal chords.

So I go into work and what do they want me to do…. They want to record my voice, so now I mildly sound like a transvestite on the national news.


But the worse thing is that this is only the start of the sickness… the worst is yet to come. I’m going to bury my head in cold and flu tablets.

Staying like a transvestite sounding newsreader for the next week,

Kodie Vs Kodie

Ahhh I've been slack updating. A big kick to myself.

In all fairness I have been away.

Will get to work right away!

Staying in holiday mode,

Kodie Vs Ridiculously long computer repair shops

How many computer technicians does it take to change a computer screen? Well I am not quite sure but I know how many days it takes them!

If you have been wondering where I am (which I am sure you haven’t) my laptop Larry broke his screen so I took him to computer hospital to get him fixed.

They told me it would cost almost as much as a new laptop to fix. It left me with a dilemma but I decided to go through with the operation because, let’s face it, Larry and I have been across the country together. We have written stories and blogs and tweets from Geraldton WA, to Sydney NSW.

However the biggest thing was living without a certain thing called the internet.

I can’t remember life before the internet but I do remember in 1995 I used encyclopaedias to research assignments, so it must be something like that.

I felt like I was out of the loop with news, sports scores current affairs and Jeff Hardy updates. And let’s not forget the latest TMZ fix.

I wondered the streets aimlessly, I painted paintings, I even pulled out Keith the guitar and learnt a couple of songs. I grabbed this thing called a pen and starting writing my stories on this other thing called paper. I even, (gasp) got sunshine.

Just when I got used to the world without the internet the repair shop called and said Larry was ready to come home.

So Larry and I got home and caught up on all things important… starting with my twitter account.

Staying online,

Kodie Vs local council

Just what exactly do local council’s do? That is the question of the day.

I have never known anyone involved with their local council. I thought it was just a myth made on cheesy British soap opera’s or Today Tonight. Well my myth was debunked by my involvement with the local council.

The other day I was on my bed with the window open listening to some pretty aggressive black rap. My dainty old neighbour (who I am convinced is a witch) called for me through my window for a neighbourhood gathering.

Apparently a recent local council meeting has caused some furore in the my neighbourhood. I should stop here and explain that my neighbourhood is predominately rich, family-orientated and white. (I even looked up the statistics and it seems I am the only ‘black’ person here according to the last census). The area’s federal minister is Liberal shadow-treasurer Joe Hockey (says it all really).

The issue that has the neighbourhood up in arms is the issue of dog troughs. I’m not kidding. The council want to make the current dog trough at the park smaller. Some people are for it, some are against. Quite frankly I am a little more concerned with other issues.

The neighbourhood went around to other council parks taking photos of what dog trough I would like to see. I had to choose and sign a petition.

Never mind starving children, spread of aids, Indigenous welfare, inequality for gay and lesbians, the war in the middle east, the flagging health system, racism, kids dying, animal mistreatment, and homelessness. Will somebody please find the right dog trough for the local park!

Staying on the real issues,
Kodie

Kodie Vs Housewives

This weekend I learnt what it was to be a desperate housewife. Emphasis on desperate.

I was stuck home this weekend. My plans of going to the farm were dashed by lack of funds. With nothing to do but twiddle my thumbs (which is literally actually harder than it looks) I was magically turned into what every independent woman dreads- a housewife.

It started with the cleaning. I scrubbed away on all fours like Cinderella pre-Prince. After I finished every corner of the house I was hungry. But no I couldn’t just go and buy something from the shop, I had to bake it. And while I was baking I thought I might as well bake afternoon tea too. I had a craving for my nana’s pumkin scones so I made a batch. Then another batch. And another. I also saw a pancake mix in the cupboard and decided I should make those too.

While everything was in the oven I took to the washing and the cleaning out of my wardrobe seeing what I could donate to charity. I went crazy!

I even, shock horror, engaged with my neighbours and signed a petition for the local council. But even I thought that was going too far. So I stepped back in the house and locked myself in my room while I transformed back into Kodie.

I went back into the kitchen to see the damage:

1000 fricken scones waiting to be eaten.

What the hell am I supposed to do with 100 scones! I don’t even have friends to give them away and I am sure as hell not socialising with the neighbours again.

Well at least I won’t be needing to cook scones again this year. I have a stockpile in my fridge.

Staying away from housework,
Kodie

Kodie Vs Twitter

I thought I'd share with the world my achievement of twittering 1000 tweets on twitter.

Now I think its time for me to go get a life... and tweet about it.

Staying a twit,

Kodie
